First Wedding Shower

I was back home this weekend and my mom and sisters surprised me with my first wedding shower!  It was great! Tom and I are so blessed to have such great family and friends.  It's exciting to have things to put into our home and now that we have a place we will call home its exciting.  The house is ready for us to move into (freshly painted, new carpets, etc). But there are some changes that we plan to make that will make it ours.  One being the dumb cupboards that were added to the kitchen that took out over half the front hall closet and 2nd access to the attic.  We also want to put in new counters in the kitchen.

But one thing we will be working on before we get married is the bedroom.  When I got my 2nd apartment here I needed a dresser (the apartment before had a GIANT closet with shelves so it was not necessary). So in looking at dressers and what they cost Tom and I ended up finding a nice bedroom set that got me not only a dresser, but also a queen bed, mattress (much better than the futon I had been sleeping on) and bed side table.   So we have that bought and good to go.  We have found a sheet/duvet cover set that we love and hope to get.

Our plan is to then paint the walls a light grey and bring in pops of colour (ok the last little bit is my plan but Tom will go along with it). For now it will be with my red curtains.  So that is exciting!!

So the countdowns continue: 37 days until we get our house! Only 88 days till we are married and will be husband and wife for the rest of our lives! Time is a flying!
